Dazzling Supermoon of 2017 Wows Stargazers

"The supermoons are a great opportunity for people to start looking at the moon", said Noah Petro, a research scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

A supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the moon's perigee - meaning the point in its orbit at which it is closest to Earth (the farthest point is known as apogee). The Moon's orbit around our planet is tilted so it usually falls above or below the shadow of the Earth. When two full moons occur in the same month, the second is sometimes called a blue moon or, in this case, a super blue moon.
